“No coercive steps, including arrest” can be initiated against Mr. Kumar, the Court noted. In the case of non-cooperation during interrogation by Mr. Kumar, CBI may have to move the Court to seek permission for custodial interrogation. The Saradha Group’s office was located in the Biddhanagar Police Commissionerate area and Mr. Kumar was the first Commissioner to investigate the Saradha Group. So far there is no evidence to indicate that Mr. Kumar is aware of those. However, when the Trinamool Congress swept to power in the polls, Mr. Kumar was brought back.
